Ever opened your intranet only to feel like you’re stepping into a time capsule? Old, irrelevant content has piled up, and now the platform you hoped would be a digital hub of collaboration and connection feels more like an abandoned storage room. And here’s the reality: once employees lose faith in the intranet, it’s hard to get them back.

Too many company intranets are outdated, sluggish and disconnected from the needs of employees. It’s a common issue that leads to disengaged teams and lost productivity. Intranets with robust AI functionality can help solve these challenges. Without the right AI tools, your intranet might be stuck in the past, unable to deliver the experience today’s employees expect and deserve.

Many organizations overlook the critical role that a well-designed user interface (UI) and ease of navigation play in the success of their intranet.

The company intranet has evolved into a crucial tool for employee experience, offering more than just a way to access resources. Employees now expect their workplace technology to offer the same ease and functionality they experience with personal apps, whether they’re in the office, remote or on the frontlines.

In most companies, the intranet is meant to be the go-to hub for employees to find critical information and stay connected. But even the most beautifully designed intranet can fall short if its search functionality doesn’t deliver accurate, relevant results. When employees struggle to find what they need, productivity plummets and frustration rises.

As anywhere work and AI reshape the modern workplace, traditional employee recognition models fall short. Dispersed teams and stretched HR departments need scalable, innovative recognition and rewards solutions that foster a deeper sense of value and commitment — leading to more engaged people and higher retention rates.
